Baja Greece 2024, prologue (Challenger)
In the Challenger Lightweight Prototype category, the prologue brought a hard-fought battle with four crews. João Ferreira (Can-Am Factory Team) had a small advantage, being 3.1 seconds ahead of Ghislain de Mévius (G Rally Team).

However, the gap between the second and fourth positions was only 1.6 seconds. Ghislain de Mévius, Lionel Baud (both on GRally OT3) and Eduardo Pons (Taurus T3 Max) finished within this small gap.

In addition, this quartet of Challenger leaders finished in the Top 5 of the overall standings - only Yazeed Al-Rajhi in the Toyota Hilux Overdrive T1+ was in front of them.

Prologue (Challenger, T3)*
1. Ferreira/Palmeiro (Can-Am)
2. De Mévius Gh./Jalet (GRally) +3.1
3. Baud/Baud (GRally) +4.0
4. Pons/Betriu (Taurus) +4.7
5. Martinez/Laguente (Can-Am) +18.6

Akira Miura (JPN) #203 Toyota Hilux Overdrive, Ultimate group.

🎤I just finished the prologue stage and arrived here. My first race in the T1 category has started, and everything about the engine's feeling, the suspension's feeling, and the shifting's feeling is very new to me. Despite the stage being extremely short, it was very exciting. However, I need to learn more and more about the car and think about how to maximize the performance of this Hilux T1+. I want to value each and every corner and make sure not to waste a single second of this race as I continue to learn.

Baja Greece 2024, prologue (SSV)

Ventura also finished eighth overall in the FIA standings.

Prologue (SSV, T4)*
1. Ventura/Mingozzi (Yamaha)

🎤So we are in Greece, for me it's the second time here, the weather is way, way different from last year, it was raining, raining all the time, so that's a good point to be able to enjoy those very beautiful stages that we saw last year, today we had the prologue, I felt I pushed a bit but the time was not that good, but anyway it's still a good time and the game starts tomorrow, so I'm very happy to be here, I hope we have a good battle with João Ferrara, who is a fast driver, and then enjoy the very, very beautiful stages of Greece.
